I’m a huge movie buff and enjoy films in all genres, regardless of when they were made. Particularly when watching older movies, I have every so often wondered how old the actors were back then. For example: How old was Dustin Hoffman when playing a young student in The Graduate from 1967, and how old […]

Considering that TechCredo has been pretty vocal about Apple and its methods and products in the past, I feel that a minor disclaimer is in order before presenting this collection of top iPhone 5 wallpapers (640 x 1136 pixel resolution). I write about Android for a living (not on TechCredo, of course) and my interest […]

Changing the homescreen wallpaper is the easiest way to give your smartphone a new look and finding the right background can do wonders for your Android homescreen layout. I have collected many more phone wallpapers than I actually need. Still, from time to time I start a new quest to find the ultimate homescreen wallpapers […]

Google Now is a great new Android feature that was introduced with Jelly Bean back in June. It was recently named Innovation of the Year by the magazine Popular Science and it’s part of the Google Search app. I personally don’t have Google Now turned on since I currently don’t have much use for it, […]

Of all the Windows Phone 8 flagship phones, WP fans are least interested in the Samsung Ativ S. In a recent survey at WPCentral, only 5% preferred Samsung’s Windows Phone 8 device while 13% wanted the HTC 8X and a whopping 82% had their minds set on the Nokia Lumia 920. The other flagship phones […]

There’s an Internet meme that is based on a pinnacle scene from the German film Downfall (2004). The movie is about the final 10 days of Hitler in his underground bunker and in this particular scene the Nazi dictator rants about the failures of his army. There are hundreds of often hilarious parody videos using […]

Most people walk around with a camera capable of shooting decent video these days. Unlike static photos, videos captured in portrait mode can’t be turned the right way later on. I guess we’re all guilty of having shot vertical videos at some point and this YouTube clip deals with Vertical Video Syndrome in an entertaining […]

TechCredo has been idle for a while again now, but I want to write a few words about the 8-bit versions of the Radiohead albums OK Computer (1997) and Kid A (2000). The bitpop interpretations are created by YouTube user QuintonSung and they are both available on YouTube and as downloads. The entire albums have […]

A year ago, TechCredo published a tutorial on how to set the “Me” picture on Android 2.3 Gingerbread. Without a proper Me picture, Android’s native Messaging app will just display an empty grey box next to your messages. The process for setting the Me picture is fortunately a lot less complicated on Android 4.0 Ice […]

There is naturally an abundance of wallpaper sites on the Internet and it’s easy to find good pictures to use as either desktop or Android backgrounds. Even TechCredo has posted tons of wallpapers and we’ve also compiled a list of the top Android wallpaper apps. However, a comparatively new wallpaper site is so surprisingly good […]

Are you dying to check out the brand new Chrome for Android web browser, but the app isn’t available in your country yet? Worry not, Android users in the rest of the world. If you have a rooted Android device, you can easily download Chrome Beta for Android from any country. The browser still requires […]

I rooted my Samsung Galaxy S2 today and the actual rooting process went great. Afterwards I made a complete NANDroid backup with ClockworkMod Recovery and I also did a backup of all my apps with Titanium Backup – since I now enjoyed root access Titanium could also backup all the Market links. However, after I […]
